You Are Special

Hello Friends! I just wanted to share the big excitement from our house this morning:

The girls are so different. One handmade her cards from construction paper and doilies. To the other, a box of Barbie cards with tattoos were her "dream come true".

They did join forces for a little while. I had signed us up for making lunches for Lazarus House, a local homeless shelter, and we all thought it would be cheery to include a valentine and candy in each lunchbag, since it was Valentine's day and all.

Molly was adamant that she hand-make all 40 valentines. I thought she was just going to cut out a heart and tape on a candy. I came out to find both girls intently working on them together, and Molly was writing a little personal message on each one.

Hi Emily - I just rented the video "Art Quilting" from a past PBS series and absolutely loved your style of quilting and had to check out your website! Looks like you are busy raising kids AND quilting :-) Just wanted to say how talented you are and to thank you for sharing your ideas!
